OnionShare2.3 adds anonymous chat!

Imagine you want to send some critic information. Imagine this person has his/her public gpg key on her website and social accounts (so you can "trust" it).

You send her an gpg encrypted mail. Maybe even from a disposable mail address.

But instead of putting the "content" on the email, what you send is the link to a Tor-onion-services encrypted, anonymous chat that doesn’t store any messages anywhere.

And you can send files!
